CommunitiesThe CCBJH Group collaborates with local governments, educational institutions, private organizations, and industries to support youth-led workshops and activities, as well as awards systems and other programs for addressing local issues and achieving SDGs.Since 2017, we have cooperated with the city of Sendai in Miyagi Prefecture to offer the Sendai Youth Award to recognize outstanding efforts by youth organizations that contribute to solving social issues and achieving SDGs. Youth-led activities aimed at solving social issues have proliferated in the so-called “Academic City Sendai,” especially since the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. At the fifth award ceremony in 2021, eight teams of finalists gave online presentations.CCBJH is supporting the creation of an environment where cooperation among industry, academia, government, and the private sector can actively work toward solutions for local issues. The Sendai Youth Award (Miyagi Prefecture)CCBJH and our city share a common aspiration to provide further support to young people who are concerned with solving local and societal issues, and to that end, we have instituted the Sendai Youth Award. We have many educational institutions, including universities, with one of the highest percentage of students in its population of any government-designated city in Japan. Given the concentration of young people in this city, we believe that we can leverage their flexible thinking and dedicated action for building the future of our city. It also serves as a driving force for the growth of our city.We sincerely hope that CCBJH will continue to act as a partner in promoting young people’s successful involvement in creating the city’s future.Addressing local issues in cooperation with industry, academia, government, and the private sectorA Cooperative Partner in Supporting the Development of Our City SDGs Workshop, Mie Mirai (Mie Prefecture)SDGs Workshop Mie Mirai is held as a collaborative effort among Mie Prefecture, Dr. Masao Aoki’s research lab (Faculty of Humanities, Law and Economics, Mie University), the nonprofit organization MBridge, and CCBJI. In this event, participants sought ideas to increase Mie Prefecture’s attractiveness and solve its problems through dialogue, and envisioning a happy future. Challenge Internship (Fukushima Prefecture)Since 2016, we have cooperated with Fukushima Prefecture’s Challenge Internship Project, aimed at fostering the development of young people who will be actively involved in the community and to revitalize the region.This project supports young people’s education and experiential learning through internships with local non-profit organizations. Through these internships, young people learn about regional issues and the attractive advantages of the prefecture with an eye toward helping to mold the future of Fukushima. CCBJH collaborates with the prefectural government and the Fukushima Local Activities Support Center in supporting this project. MIYAZAKI SDGs ACTION (Miyazaki Prefecture)In Miyazaki Prefecture, high school and university students, use indices and words shared with the companies that support Miyazaki’s economy to learn and consider what a sustainable economy and society should look like. CCBJH is one of the companies that cooperates with this Miyazaki SDGs Action project. High school students, university students, and young workers form a single team to spend half a year drawing up a vision for the future, based on various themes, and then creating, implementing, and presenting action plans.Kazuko Kori25Mayor of the city of Sendai, Miyagi PrefectureContributions to the Local Community
